[Oabs] Looking forward to 2014

[Emily Pennington]

Hi, Kaiti.
I just filled in my availability below on the same line as each day rather 
than below. Like you said, some stuff is still up in the air for me; I don't 
even know if I'll be in Lit Choir this semester becaues I sure as heck can't 
do it on Wednesdays. That shouldn't matter in the long run, but I'll let you 
know if an issue arises with that or something else.

Emily

Since we are a growing division, I think it would be awesome for a couple of 
representatives to go to a few different student division meetings across 
the country. We could pick some big ones (i.e. Texas, Illinois, and so on), 
and one or two people could go to each, just to gather tips and suggestions 
for us to grow in numbers, in financial status, and some topics to cover. I 
think it would be great to get some alumni from LCB, CCB, or other places. 
Pam Allen was an awesome speaker, and I think she or Julie Deiden could 
definitely come back with great insight, but it would be cool to hear from 
some students, like Macy. I know we talked about this at our November 
meeting with Deborah, but I just wanted to write it down while I remembered 
it. Perhaps we could also have a forum on canes versus dogs, and have some 
students who use both come in and discuss the ups and downs. We ourselves 
have some dog users who could give tips, but it would be cool to get a few 
others too -- maybe even from different schools. This may be a topic for 
when more students are actively at our meetings, especially high school-age 
students, but I think it could work.
